Topics: Agriculture , Climate change ,

For the implementation of the Common Agricultural Policy, the European Commission needs timely information on the agricultural production to be expected in the current season. This is a main concern of the MARS-project (Monitoring Agricultural ResourceS) of the AGRI4CAST and FOODSEC units of the Directorate General Joint Research Center (JRC) of the European Commission in Ispra (Italy). Available products include: Graphs and maps of weather indicators based on observations and numerical weather models Graphs and maps of crop indicators based on agro-meteorological models Graphs and maps of vegetation indices and cumulated dry matter based on remote sensing images

Change of flowering date for winter wheat

Change of flowering date for winter wheat This figure shows the rate of change of the flowering date for winter wheat. The flowering date is defined as the day at which a modelization of the winter wheat reaches a development state of 100 in a scale 0 - 200 defined for the WOFOST growth model (Van Keulen H, Wolf J (1986) Modelling of agricultural production: weather soils and crops, Simulation monographs. Pudoc, Wageningen). The map shows the yearly change rate in days per year calculated for the period January 1975 - December 2010.
